“my favorite place ever in phoenix!
their clean ingredients are *chefs kiss*
they’re so friendly, the restaurant is so clean, and they’re efficient on getting orders out fast with quality.

i always order the bacon&egg avo toast and their seasonal matcha’s. the blueberry lavender, guava, and brown sugar banana are to die for!!! i appreciate matcha that is well balanced in bitter and sweetness and they have mastered this perfectly. you taste the matcha, you taste the flavor. their avo toast never misses, the portion size is huge! i truly could eat this every day. i hope one day all cafes can stop up charging for non-dairy alternatives. :,)

ive been coming since their farmer market days and i recommend this place to everyone! they are so deserving of their success and i hope it continues forever. 10/10 recommend.“

“A hidden gem with great service, really good atmosphere, and good drinks and food. The hosts had an amazing attitude and followed up on service, the area is open and doesn't feel crowded at all with a nice view and tons of natural light. Lastly, the coffee was actually good. They knew how to make a good flat white“

“Loved my visit to Better Buzz! The chia drink was so good, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and made the experience even better. I wish we had a Better Buzz closer to home. I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in the area!“

“Awesome ambience! The host Amir was so polite and friendly made my wife and I feel very welcome. He deserves the best. The rooted grounds coffee company, however, gave us a cold danish and did not even call us when our coffee was ready. Very rude lady. She does not deserve the best unlike Amir of course.“

“Okay, Better Buzz Coffee… I get the obsession now! 😍

I ordered the Caramel Vanilla Best Drink Ever, and honestly, the name is 100% accurate. It was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect mix of caramel and vanilla. Every sip was amazing!

I also got the Everything Bagel with cream cheese, and WOW. It was so fresh and tasty. I found out they actually bake their bagels every morning, and you can definitely tell. Fresh, warm, and packed with flavor!

What made the experience even better was the incredible customer service from Ayden. He was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made me feel valued as a customer. It’s rare to come across service that leaves such a positive impression, and Ayden definitely went above and beyond to make my visit enjoyable.

Great drinks, delicious food, fresh-baked bagels, and outstanding customer service—I couldn’t ask for more. I’ll definitely be coming back for that “Best Drink Ever” again! ☕🥯✨“

“We had dinner at Chennai Cafe, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was authentic, full of flavour, and tasted just like a home-cooked meal. Every dish was fresh and comforting. If you’re looking for genuine South Indian food, this place is definitely worth a visit!“

“While I was unable this morning to acquire a taste of food, I was very much impressed with Shayla‘s recommendation of a nice black cup of coffee to wake me up before I start my day. She was pleasant to speak to made a wonderful wonderful cup of black coffee And her friendly demeanor is what caused me to post this wonderful review about the service. It is people like her in this world that make individual experiences more pleasant and I am honored to have been invited to share a couple of coffee in the story with her so keep up the good work Shayla and thank you for probably the best cup of black coffee that I’ve ever had in my entire life God bless“
